I tuned in to the sanctions hearing against the Kraken lawyers an hour ago, only intending to quickly see what everyone looks like, and I've been glued to it ever since. The incompetence of the Kraken lawyers and the judge's absolute disgust is great tv.

OMG. They filed someone saying the Kraken lawyers can't be sanctioned because of the First Amendment and "the Supreme Court precedent is too numerous to even cite" and that they don't want to offend everyone with a long string cite and the judge said she will not be offended
if they can even cite one mf case that says an attorney can file whatever they want under the First Amendment. This is absurd.
How is any of this real? How are these people actual lawyers on the national stage? Are they even embarrassed? Are they too dumb to be embarrassed? I've been mad about all of this for so long and now all I have left is total bafflement. How are these people not in prison?

I lived in Russia one summer and one day I went to see Lenin's body on Red Square (he has been preserved and you can see him through a glass case and it's truly wild). While I was standing in line this guy about my age offered to share his umbrella with me because it was raining.
I was 25 and closeted (and would be for another 5 years). The guy was from a small town in Siberia, visiting the big city on vacation. He was cute and he spoke about as much English as I spoke Russian (rough) so we communicated in a messy mix of both.
We were in that line for about 45 minutes before we saw Lenin so by the time we made it through the excursion, we had become familiar with one another. His name was Oleg and I really liked him so I was perfectly happy to spend the rest of the day with him wandering Moscow.

I like to call this one “Pretending To Be Named Plaintiffs In Landmark Gay Rights Case.”
This one is “Walking Down Some Steps While Wearing A Sweater In July.”
Here we have “Looking Down At Our Enemies In Hell.”

There were a lot of early moments that made me realize my husband was it, but a big one was when I asked him what he wanted to do for date night and he suggested we walk the dog, get some takeout, “and then the 3 of us snuggle on the couch to a good movie.”
My 25-year-old self would not have understood this. I thought I wanted an extrovert like me who would crave parties and crowds and adventure. It turns out when you find someone who feels like home, that’s all you really need to be complete.
I don’t want to do anything else or be anywhere else as long as he’s here. You can gag over this and I’ll probably agree. I’ve certainly done that over other people’s posts. But whatever. I never thought I could have this life and now that I do and I can’t stop bragging about it.

If you are a gay Mormon follower of my Twitter, please let me vomit some unsolicited advice at you: you truly don’t have to accept that your options in life are a mixed-orientation marriage or perpetual celibacy and loneliness.
You are not required to seek out or listen to people in mixed orientation marriages or anyone who is pitching this to you as a reasonable option. By the way, if you are listening to someone in a mixed orientation marriage and it sounds like they are trying to convince
you they are “making it work” and that it’s “worth it even though it’s hard,” that should tell you all you need to know. If I ever hear my husband describe our marriage in those terms he will be living in the yard by the end of the day.

On my wedding day I gave my phone to a friend so I wouldn’t have a pocket bulge. She gave it back to me at the end and said “I took photos of people having an authentic time at your wedding.” I thanked her for the thoughtfulness. A few hours later i checked them out. A sampling:

Last year this guy started coming to the gym every day right after I got there. Without fail he would show up within 5 minutes of my arrival. It was like he had a tracker on me. I was annoyed with this because he had this infuriating habit:
Dude would go to the front desk, ask for the TV remote, and then go and change the channel of all 12 TVs in front of the treadmills to Fox News. Every day. And then he wouldn't even watch them. He was just being a Fox News evangelist.
No one ever stopped him because we're all just a bunch of weak ass losers who are more comfortable complaining on Twitter than actually asserting ourselves in person.
